My youngest G-son starts his new (first, full-time) paying job tomorrow.

He has been diligent all summer looking for work, but high school Juniors are not so much in demand lately. Since he will be allowed part-time work when school starts again, he will at least have gas-money coming in on his own hook.

Go Max !

I just got a nice contract to develop a web application for a netgas drilling operation's requisitions and purchasing system. It will be a great portfolio piece... as is the cellar, the field of 64, and the cllr.me projects.

This furthers my goal to move from unemployment to self-employment.

UT, Congratulations... I know the anxiety of contracting for software development.
It can be something of a feast or famine occupation.
But if you can hang in there thru the startup, it can be quite profitable.

Just be sure the words "Deep" and "Horizon" do not appear anywhere in your contracts.
